[sage sluice]

I still dont know how we found her to this day

She was like a mile down the road

[mortal grail]

You're really lucky

[sage sluice]

You have no idea

[mortal grail]

I've heard stories of bird's found interstate

[sage sluice]

We had a whole search party, but it was my step dad who recognized her call

[frigid stag]

u got extremely lucky

[sage sluice]

Tell me about it

[mortal grail]

Yeah I can understand clipping her wings

[frigid stag]

sadly didnt end that way for me 😭

[sage sluice]

When my step dad found her she literally fell out of the tree onto him

[mortal grail]

It sucks but also the latter event is way worse

[sage sluice]

She was shaking so much

[frigid stag]

had a cat that ran away still havent found it

its been 2 years 😭

[sage sluice]

People say its cruel to clip birds wings, and to an extent it is, but i like my bird alive more

[mortal grail]

Fr

It sucks but also they are bird brained, they don't know better

[frigid stag]

i mean if u keep ur windows closed but

sometimes they can fly away

[sage sluice]

She squeezed out the door when someone opened it

Actually it happened twice

[mortal grail]

I like to think of animals like toddlers

[sage sluice]

First time she saw us and flew back to us immediately

So we werent too worried

[frigid stag]

idek how my cats surviving cuz its an indoor cat but they prolly know how to survive outsidr

[mortal grail]

They get all this energy to race off

[sage sluice]

The second time she didnt see me and kept going

[mortal grail]

Then they get second ideas

Can't find their way back

[sage sluice]

Indoor cats are surprisingly helpless outdoors if they arent played with or taught

[hoary zodiac]

Finally got around to setting a filter on thunderbird

[frigid stag]

😬

[hoary zodiac]

Almost all the spam got filtered out

[mortal grail]

Omfg don't shatter the guy's hopes

Wth

[frigid stag]

i mean she used to catch mice at home so she knows how to survive

[hoary zodiac]

Actually pretty much all the spam got filtered out

Damn

[sage sluice]

Im being genuine, i had a housecat turned outdoor cat, bro turned into the neighbors housecat like instantly

[hoary zodiac]

Why is it downloading messages

[mortal grail]

Sometimes cats sneak out to a neighbour's house, then they get fed there, one day they disappear

[frigid stag]

i wouldnt be surprised if its at a neighbours house all this time

[mortal grail]

I've seen stories where cats reappear at their old home after years

[frigid stag]

i doubt she got far

[sage sluice]

Cats arent stupid

[mortal grail]

They have a mind of their own sometimes

[sage sluice]

They know humans = food

[mortal grail]

Foof

[frigid stag]

i put up some fliers when it happened but that was about it

[sage sluice]

Ill show you foof

[frigid stag]

waited a few weeks no calls

[mortal grail]

I'm calling it that from now on

[mortal grail]

Yes pls me hungry

[Cat noises]

[sage sluice]

Lemme find a pic of the last thing i made

[mortal grail]

Me wan foof

🚪

[frigid stag]

i could lowkey make a post on those neighbourhood apps about the cat even tho its been 2 years still want my cat back lol

i tried when it ran away but no calls ig someone took it in and didnt want to give it

[sage sluice]

Scones

[mortal grail]

SCONEEEEE

[sage sluice]

Blueberry scones are so friggen good fresh out the oven

[frigid stag]

i thought those were raspberry

[sage sluice]

One of my favourites to make despite how difficult they are

Extremely picky with house temp

Entirely alters the end result

[mortal grail]

I thought cranberry

[sage sluice]

Dude cranberry scones would go so hard

[mortal grail]

They do

Bro lemme finish that

It's an easy 9/10

[frigid stag]

i thought it was raspberry or blackberry

[mortal grail]

Fr

[hoary zodiac]

Ok I stopped thunderbird from download every single one of my email

I really need to stop using my personal email

[mortal grail]

Berry scones in general

[hoary zodiac]

And have a business email

[mortal grail]

That's like, A+, S tier

[frigid stag]

btw dont install the new outlook app it bricked my windows

[mortal grail]

Microsoft never failing to miss an opportunity to make their software look dumb

[frigid stag]

kept getting infinite pop up tabs from it 💀

[mortal grail]

He runs Linux don't worry

[frigid stag]

it was this “mailto” thing that chose ms edge to send pop ups

[sage sluice]

Holy pile of waffles

[mortal grail]

He's got bigger problems than outlook

[sage sluice]

Made with a homemade jam

[mortal grail]

Omg

[hoary zodiac]

I'm using thunderbird

A firefox based client

It works with outlook emails servers

[mortal grail]

Balou got the house husband factor sorted

[frigid stag]

then tried disabling ms edge through registry and then boom windows doesnt boot

[mortal grail]

Bro's gonna be taken for life

[mortal grail]

LMAO

[frigid stag]

like this thing broke my dual boot too

[hoary zodiac]

mmmmnm

[frigid stag]

none of my os’s work. this has to be the best linux commercial

[sage sluice]

Holy nugg pile

[mortal grail]

I love that like, it's 2025 and you have a UI like something out of the first Alien movie

[sage sluice]

With some coconut macaroons

[hoary zodiac]

It's a terminal ui

Minimalistic

[frigid stag]

the ui is very 2000s indeed

[mortal grail]

1980's

[frigid stag]

(i barely remember windows xp) 💀

[mortal grail]

Oh wow 1985

[hoary zodiac]

Less resource intensive than a full gui

You can do a lot from a tui

[mortal grail]

[frigid stag]

ht is useless for most games if u have over 4-6 cores

[mortal grail]

[hoary zodiac]

GUI application next to a TUI application

[frigid stag]

intel even got rid of it

but 285k isnt good so

[mortal grail]

And somehow buggered it

[elfin mural]

hm fair enough

[mortal grail]

[frigid stag]

yeah

[elfin mural]

but i've seen mixed results

with ht off vs on

[hoary zodiac]

Intel can't stop taking Ls

[elfin mural]

so i just keep it on

[frigid stag]

theres way more snake oil tips than just ht off

ht on is better for stuff like warzone or bf

big open world games

[frigid stag]

like this one guy says i need to cover my pc with foil

[mortal grail]

PFFT

[frigid stag]

because emi

[mortal grail]

Oh no

Oh noooooo

That should be called a 4090ti

Not a 5090

And they're asking what?

$1999 for that?

[mortal grail]

I told you all

[rancid juniper]

Bro at this point keep it for the quadro lineup or something

I should've bought a lottery ticket

I rain man'd the crap out of this

[rancid juniper]

You can buy a car and have a better experience than this

[hoary zodiac]

I could at least somewhat justify if it was $1499

But at $1999

Nvidia is smoking crack

I’m buying it

Just gotta rob a bank

Barely 1%

[hoary zodiac]

what the hell is with the hardware launches these past couple months

X3D is the only good thing

[rancid juniper]

What is a generational improvement? 🗣️

[hoary zodiac]

Even intel kinda fumbled the B580

[fresh timber]

Just don’t have a broke cpu

[rancid juniper]

(DRIVERS)

[hoary zodiac]

See at least with intel there is the radeon cope

With nvidia

This is all you're getting

[rancid juniper]

Get scammed bro

[hoary zodiac]

No driver updates that'll patch the issues

Just good old fashioned scam

[fresh timber]

Hovered

[safe cape]

with 50/60 series will be a good deal

4k 60 fps ez

under 400$

[mortal grail]

Two minds about this

The less fps the more noticeable mfg gets

Lol

[safe cape]

we will see

idk

[mortal grail]

So key takeaways of 50 series:

• DLSS 4 with reflex 2 is a great update for all RTX
• The FE is a technical engineering dream with mid thermals
• The perf/$ will be meh at best
• New nvidia optimus looks huge to gains

Software took the W this gen

Hardware big L

[unreal trail]

in ohio? you gonna get mugged bro

[devout forum]

so what is the verdict on the 5090?

[keen magnet]

I'm coming from the old days where I was Intel or nothing, we used to stupidly make fun of friends who had AMD for laughs and to give friends a hard time. I've never used an AMD ever. Looking to build a new gaming PC, is 9800x3d where I need to be?

Is there something else worth waiting for or something else better than that worth moving to, or is that as good as the high demand seems to make it out to be?

[devout forum]

It's the bee's knees right now

But it's in a shortage right now

AMD claims they didn't make all that many for the launch cuz even they didn't expect Intel to be this cooked

[atomic mist]

just gotta wait a few months

[storm narwhal]

Its Intel's fault

-AMD

[atomic mist]

yeah intel bought all the x3d chips

[elfin mural]

so looking at avg, it's like 20% faster

that's so lame

bruh

now i know

5070 is probably gonna be mid as hell

[mortal grail]

5090 is 25% ish

And that's the only one with a significant core bump

In terms of price/perf it's worse than a 4090

[elfin mural]

yeah

i only expect 1-2% uplift

from 4070

to 5070

[mortal grail]

I'm expecting 10%

Which if you have a higher power vbios flashed onto the 4070*

Then yeah more like 2%

[elfin mural]

tru

the higher tdp

but if you mess with the 4070 ur gonna be neck and neck

[proud jackal]

BUT

AI

[sinful blade]

But muh eh eyes

[dusk knot]

Even for AI, it’s not all that good

[sinful blade]

Just use an ADA card at that point

[devout forum]

"Still too expensive"

[dusk knot]

We have artifacting with MFG and the latency is determined by none fake frames….

[sinful blade]

If my gpu costs more than $300, I ain’t buying it

[mortal grail]

I told you the frame buffer wasn't fixed

[devout forum]

I'm not entirely against spending about 350k HUF on my own GPU

but if I do, it better effing last me YEARS

[dusk knot]

Let’s see what reflex 2 does.

So far…this gen is not it, chief

[mortal grail]

It'll halve the system latency

So you offset the mfg added lag

That's literally the only reason mfg is even worth considering

Reflex 2 makes it possible

[storm narwhal]

Assuming it's rendering at above 60fps raw

[mortal grail]

Yes

Assuming reasonable fps

[storm narwhal]

If it goes below 60fps raw you done bro

[mortal grail]

This doesn't address mfg artifacts

[dusk knot]

So far no added latency according to the Linus tech tip review …so that good

[mortal grail]

But it does a lot

[storm narwhal]

Not enough inputs to the temporal system then we get artifacts and ugliness

[mortal grail]

If not fully gpu bound I bet

[dusk knot]

We need more info

[mortal grail]

I'm really disappointed

They made 50 series the most mildest of bumps

And MFG not worthy of adoption

Used 4080S with a vbios flash would do better for you JP

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/i-need-it-spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-gif-4883506

[mortal grail]

You get all the benefits that actually count from nvidia for you but also you save $200

Omg

[dusk knot]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh

[mortal grail]

Wrong ping

[mortal grail]

All the benefits and you save money

[sinful blade]

Not taking the mobo or AIO

[mortal grail]

Better than trying to get one of a few hundred 5080's imo

[dusk knot]

I will see what I can find at a reasonable price. Bunch of idiots online still thinks the Covid lockdown exists

[sinful blade]

Awh hell yeah

Only $150 for a key cap

[mortal grail]

Soz

I mean it really feels like it

5090 will be scalped for sure with the numbers it has

[dusk knot]

But I have microcenter

[mortal grail]

And so does everyone else

[storm narwhal]

I wish I had microcenter

[mortal grail]

I'm tryna save you from heartbreak man this new gen is disgusting

Lol

Next gen they'll do way better than this

[dusk knot]

[mortal grail]

Cos the feedback is awful for 50 series

[mortal grail]

Go live like a raccoon in their garbage for a week if you want a 5080 guaranteed

[storm narwhal]

If some angry buyer just dumps it in the garbage?

Boom, profit

[dusk knot]

I like how the linus review concluded that the 5090 is a stupider version of the 4090

4090 plus plus

[mortal grail]

It actually is

Cos here's something funny

The oc labs 4090 super is like 15% over a 4090

Which is halfway to a 5090

[dusk knot]

💀💀💀. They’re doing something wrong. I’m hearing 30ish

[unreal trail]

cooooooooooooold

[mortal grail]

So if ever a word for 4090 Ti exists

It's 5090 for sure

Considering the "super" was fast af

Haha I was actually wrong
https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/modders-create-an-rtx-4090-super-gpu-thats-39-faster-than-stock

Imagine having a homebrew 4090 "super" and it's still the fastest card

[dusk knot]

Smh

I’m glad a majority of reviews are ditching the 1080p benchmarks. No one in 2025 should still be using an ‘’HD’’ monitor

[frigid stag]

Me with 1080p monitor

Also planning on getting better 1080p monitor

[dusk knot]

🗿

[frigid stag]

Need the 360hz somehow

1440p too expensive for that

5080 at 1080p 360 🗿

[devout forum]

God I'm

I might be cooked chat

https://hardverapro.hu/apro/27gr95qe-b_oled_240hz/friss.html
27GR95QE-B for 170k HUF

wait it's the same guy

WTF

also WOLED

Me no likey ngl

QD-OLED is the real stuff IMO

[mortal grail]

I don't see why you don't like it lol

[devout forum]

not dissing WOLED, but I'd be reading a good bit of text and I'm worried about that

[proud jackal]

I have one

[mortal grail]

Oh if you are in a bright room ok, qd-oled

[proud jackal]

Also guys guys Nvidia will make it better

[devout forum]

I have one window on my left side

[proud jackal]

[devout forum]

The window is towards the east

[dusk knot]

It’s not a big deal….

[mortal grail]

I couldn't be more ready to skip in my life

[devout forum]

so it gets bright at sunrise, but after that there is no direct light source that is against it

[mortal grail]

No direct light woled is fine

[devout forum]

unless I turn on the lights

which is behind me overhead

[proud jackal]

BUT

The fake frames!!

[mortal grail]

400 nit peak looks quite bright on oled relative to 1000 nit on others

[devout forum]

Theo

DP2.1

[sinful blade]

Was it $150?

[devout forum]

the legit only actually good reason

[mortal grail]

The fake frames were tested. Like only 2 games are decent with them

[mortal grail]

He makes a fair point tbh lol

But then

[devout forum]

like if the 4080 had DP80 I'd entirely be uninterested in 50 series

[mortal grail]

9070xt...

[devout forum]

But alas, nGreedAI knew what's up

[mortal grail]

7900xtx

[devout forum]

if the 9070XT has DP80 bandwidth I'm not even gonna look at nGreedAI

[mortal grail]

On the contrary it's difficult to hit even remotely close to dp80 speeds on most games

[proud jackal]

Did linus

[mortal grail]

Xtx already has it so it should do

[proud jackal]

Just boom on the start of video

[devout forum]

mostly to avoid DSC tbf

[proud jackal]

[devout forum]

and isn't XTX onlyy DP32?

[dusk knot]

@proud jackal your thoughts on the 4090ti?

[devout forum]

IIRC the only GPU with a proper DP80 connector is an AMD workstation card rn

[proud jackal]

The what

[mortal grail]

Lmfaooo

[dusk knot]

The 4090ti

[mortal grail]

I thought this was the case but apparently the xtx does have dp80 iirc

[dusk knot]

The 5090 lol

[mortal grail]

That was my mistake

You probably heard that from me

So mb

[devout forum]

no I read it on Reddit

[dusk knot]

NgreedAI…smh

My wallet closed

Even the 5090 can’t max out my monitor without fake frames

[devout forum]

anyhow

[dusk knot]

Hm?

[devout forum]

@mortal grail This is concerning me

I am pretty sensitive to ghosting and so

[frigid stag]

It’s also kinda dark

[devout forum]

I'm running on a >200nit IPS rn

It cannot be that bad

[dusk knot]

It’s still better than any LCD you’ve ever seen in your life

[frigid stag]

It’s around 200 nits iirc

[devout forum]

241 iirc

[frigid stag]

I’ve heard some talk about flicker too. Not 100% sure if it’s that exact monitor

[devout forum]

nevermind

[mortal grail]

Nvm xtx doesn't

[devout forum]

200 in SDR, 425 in HDR

[dusk knot]

The motion clarity will be equivalent to a 360hz monitor at 240hz

[mortal grail]

Uhbr20 vs uhbr13.5

[devout forum]

yeah that's what I thought

[proud jackal]

But

[frigid stag]

But how

[proud jackal]

5090 big numbers

[devout forum]

OLED magic

it's so cool that OLED monitors are genuinely in the price range where they're fairly affordable to people

Actually

Waaaaaaait

I could be cheeky

[dusk knot]

I meant the 240hz on the OLED will be as smooth in appearance to a 360hz IPS in motion blur

[devout forum]

and skip OLED in monitor

And just get a 42" C3 with a long HDMI cable

and game on it that way

with a controller

[frigid stag]

How does it do that

[devout forum]

now THAT would be a helluva experience

I'd probably sit a lot more on my bed instead of my chair

[dusk knot]

The pixel response times

It’s far lower

[frigid stag]

So lower latency

https://tenor.com/view/hmmm-thinking-batman-gif-6153870554148391864

[mortal grail]

It's actually more like a 540hz ips

[dusk knot]

Yes

[dusk knot]

Even better

[mortal grail]

Yes the latency is that low

[frigid stag]

I may need to try one

[mortal grail]

Optimum has a great video about this with the first lg oled monitor

He details that oled gets like 0.03ms frame time delay

Vs ips etc at 1ms+

At high refresh you are basically increasing fps to reduce those extra ms

So it becomes a latency difference

Which oled is tremendously better at

[devout forum]

OLED is AWESOME

[frigid stag]

Idk exactly how it works but they have 480hz oled’s so it’s about the same in both worlds

[devout forum]

But be warned right here

Once you jump to OLED

[mortal grail]

https://youtu.be/hMzCnEhfB18

This explains it well

[devout forum]

STFU bot I'm right

[frigid stag]

I probably won’t. 700 for a monitor is too much

[devout forum]

But yes
Once you plunge to the world of OLED there is no going back

[dusk knot]

As from ghosting…..are you really going to pay attention to that while gaming? @devout forum

[proud jackal]

Is 5090 out yet

[frigid stag]

Isn’t this an older monitor

[devout forum]

it's just really bothering me most of the time

[devout forum]

Yes it is
OLED only became better since

[frigid stag]

Is it even good compared to newer ones

[devout forum]

any OLED >>> any other monitor

[frigid stag]

Eh

[devout forum]

newer OLED > older OLED

[frigid stag]

As long as it doesn’t flicker

[dusk knot]

On your old ips……

[devout forum]

Flickering is tied to sudden and quick changes in framerate

like in loading screens

[frigid stag]

0 ghosting here on tn

[devout forum]

During playing it's not happening

and you kinda have to try pulling flicker forward in a properly set up OLED

[mortal grail]

I'm posting it for the technical demonstration not the monitor itself lmao

[devout forum]

But yes OLED is the shizz

[frigid stag]

Oh

[mortal grail]

[frigid stag]

Does your current monitor mouse feel look like this

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/525905837978288132/720400213973663744/20200610_171003_1.mp4?ex=679367bb&is=6792163b&hm=888a4be955794e6e8602039b9c13e93c8db5738cf91f8a136ad79a8ef92b1bcf&

I think that’s 240hz

[proud jackal]

I like my OLED

[devout forum]

I friggin wish lol

I'm stuck at 75hz for now

[frigid stag]

Ah

I’m stuck on 100hz

Well 85hz cause the colors start to look weird at 100hz

[devout forum]

but also to the margin of this: https://hardverapro.hu/apro/42_lg_c3_oled_teve_szervizelendo/friss.html

42" (107 cm) diameter LG C3 (2023 model) EVO OLED TV, purchased in October, used for one month, for sale with papers and warranty. No burn-in, pixel defects, perfect contrast, 4K resolution, can also be used as a monitor. 120 Hz, VRR (G Sync, FreeSync), HDMI 2.1 connectors, i.e. a great gaming TV/monitor.
The TV started to produce some image defects after a month: after an hour of use, the image goes dark for a tenth of a second every half minute. It is not a contact defect, because a few black frames come at exactly the same time, the sound does not skip, the connection is not interrupted. It produces this on all sources, with all kinds of signals, even on the screensaver. Apart from that, it is in perfect condition, there are no signs of use on it. It was a refurbished model, I bought it at the Digital Madness store, the warranty is still valid. Of course, I returned it with this problem, a factory (service menu) hard reset helped it, that's why we came to the conclusion that the software got confused after receiving a 10-bit, 120 Hz HDR signal via an HDMI switch. It didn't produce the problem for days, and finally it came up with a buyer. (I returned the money, of course.) The TV is usable, all functions and inputs work.
As I wrote, it is under warranty (until October this year), I can't afford to take it back and wait for the official service to look at it again, hence the price. If you take this course, in a few weeks you will have a perfect, new OLED TV for that much, which you can sell for 80-100 thousand forints more, so it's not bad for an investment.
Upon request, I can send a video of the phenomenon and take a photo of the warranty. It can be viewed and taken away in the 8th district of Budapest.

[mortal grail]

Pretty sure he's not on oled, also a compressed discord vid won't tell us anything

Whoa

[devout forum]

120k HUF

[mortal grail]

Budapest

[devout forum]

[frigid stag]

Yeah no it’s tn

[devout forum]

the one where I'm half tempted to pull the trigger

[frigid stag]

Tn 240hz from zowie

[mortal grail]

C3 is good if you run low brightness

Also you want a strong ass gpu for that

4080/xtx minimum

[frigid stag]

They still charge like 500 bucks for their 240hz screens

[devout forum]

I'd grab the 4080 later yes

can a 6700 XT scrape by 30fps at 4k?

[mortal grail]

You can get an oled for that and be better off without question

[mortal grail]

No

[devout forum]

damn

[proud jackal]

[devout forum]

Still

[frigid stag]

Yeah and avoid the post processing lag from benq monitors

[devout forum]

4k OLED TV for watching F1?

Sounds pretty poggers to me

[frigid stag]

What game

It can for sure

30 fps isn’t hard to get in 4k, even a 1080 probably could

[devout forum]

besides I can kinda cheat and turn it down to 1080p and from a distance it'd still look good

[frigid stag]

Fsr ✅

[devout forum]

nah just

set the game to run in 1080p

it should still look decent at like 8 feet distance

[mortal grail]

Fsr at low fps like that would look like a microsoft default screensaver

[mortal grail]

You could do that

[devout forum]

if we render at a lower res anyway might as well just embrace it

[mortal grail]

Be a bit mid tho

[devout forum]

would it look alright from 8 feet away?

[mortal grail]

Tbh 1440p 120 is doable on a 6700xt if you're smart

[devout forum]

if it's good enough from 8 feet I'd do it in a heartbeat

[frigid stag]

If you’re playing f1 that’s easy to run at 4k with anything

[mortal grail]

1440p would be passable yeah

Oh just f1 would be easy yeah

[devout forum]

no I'd watch F1 on it

and play older games

[frigid stag]

Oh

Ye older games should be fine too

I have worse wallpapers than nfs 💀

[devout forum]

that game is unironically so much fun

anyhow

I am so tempted at that kinda broken C3

[fresh timber]

wanna know what i find funny

my gpu idles wattage is prob higher than my entire servers idle

2300x and 6600 does NOT use alot

i bet if i plugged it into a wall it be using 40w

[lone mango]

My 6600 used to use like 4w idle but now it uses 20

[devout forum]

do I do it chat

Do I make the funni

like

350k HUF

for brand new in box

but that 120k kinda broken one still has like

9 months of warranty

and the original shop will either fix it or exchange it for another one

I'd need help moving it though

[velvet summit]

Isn't GTA like a 18+ game

it probably got sold

It's probably older than the age rating at this point

[velvet summit]

Real

[mortal grail]

It's so old it could buy itself probably

Wat

[velvet summit]

I feel like the sweepstakes should've been limited to the people within the age rating of the game lol

Well, nowadays, giveaways are 18+ 90% of the time anyways

[fresh timber]

People are still going to buy a 4090ti lol

[velvet summit]

My parents didn't want me to game lmao

I had a PC though

[fresh timber]

lol

[velvet summit]

I just watched YouTube

[fresh timber]

Debatably worst

[velvet summit]

Perhaps

[devout forum]

guys

a 4080 can play everything at 1440p maxed settings right?

Right?...

[velvet summit]

Maybe?

[worthy tapir]

Fancy

[velvet summit]

Display use only with no tether?

[worthy tapir]

I had just opened it up when I took the pic

[fresh timber]

What fps

[velvet summit]

60 minimum ig

[mortal grail]

I'd be surprised to find a game that realistically wouldn't

[proud jackal]

I'll buy 4090 because I'm a 4k gamer

Oops

[mortal grail]

Nice

[devout forum]

I'm honestly

[proud jackal]

5090*

[mortal grail]

I too would buy 4090

[devout forum]

Not buying the 4k hype

[proud jackal]

It's nice for single player games

[devout forum]

the 4k OLED panels are way too expensive

[velvet summit]

Good thing phones can't escape

Buying 5090 for 3dmark

[devout forum]

I mean 90 class GPUs are kind of stupid anyway

[mortal grail]

The 5090 was cpu bottlenecked at both 1440p and 1080p

Same issue happened with the 4090 at release

[devout forum]

27 fps at 4k native on Cyberbug

[mortal grail]

No one believed me lmfao

Hell even the 4080 if you don't have a good enough cpu gets cpu bound really often

Anything less than like a 5700X3D it really hates

[devout forum]

what'd be enough for a 4080 at 1440p in the CPU department

7700X?

[mortal grail]

See above

[devout forum]

or you'd absolutely need x3d

14700K?

[mortal grail]

5700x3d ≈ 7600/x

[devout forum]

so a 7700X should be good

awesome

[mortal grail]

≈ 13600K

[devout forum]

ye fair

[mortal grail]

Give or take

[fresh timber]

Disgusting

[mortal grail]

It's kinda but also kinda sorta nota

[fresh timber]

Can a 4080 do 1440p 240

[mortal grail]

yes

[devout forum]

should be able to ye

but yes

used 4080 feels like the high-end meta rn

[mortal grail]

Or xtx/9070xt

[devout forum]

actually a question

[mortal grail]

7900XT tbh beats all three for value

$600 and already comparable to 9070 series

[devout forum]

60 fps on an OLED
Or 120 fps on an LCD?

[mortal grail]

120fps tbh

60 fps on any monitor doesn't feel premium if it isn't like a 70+" 8K

[fresh timber]

120

I prefer my refresh rate

[devout forum]

tbf ye

60 on a high refresh OLED still wouldn't look that great

cuz higher refresh = better motion on an OLED

[fresh timber]

Give me 240 hz Fortnite and I’m hapy

ngl

9800X3D is cool

But daaaaaaamn does it cost a lot

[fresh timber]

lolp

[devout forum]

650 dollars (with tax and so on) for me

[mortal grail]

Epic games has a real sense of humour rn

[devout forum]

511 without taxes

it's sooooooo painful

it just doesn't feel worth it right off the rip

[mortal grail]

I think that was the last lucky purchase I got

[devout forum]

@mortal grail 360k HUF for an XTX or 380k HUF for a 4080S

[mortal grail]

I'm happy to have paid msrp it worked out well

[mortal grail]

How much in usd

[devout forum]

both used ofc

[devout forum]

uhhhhhhhhh

one sec

[mortal grail]

Tbh given the way AMD seems to have nothing on offer compared to Nvidia's dlss 4 those two are awfully close in price

That said

A GOOD XTX would be better

[devout forum]

916 for the XTX
and like 960 for the 4080

[mortal grail]

Which models

[devout forum]

ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming
GAINWARD Phantom RTX 4080

[mortal grail]

Oof

I'm leaning the PG tbh

[devout forum]

Fascinating

[lone mango]

The hell who is gainward

[mortal grail]

But I could do the 4080S given frame gen will become usable

[worn wave]

PG is a pretty good model I think, no idea about gainward

[devout forum]

But yes our markets are bad

[lone mango]

[mortal grail]

They usually pump out ref tier cards for nv

Phantom is pretty basic stuff

[devout forum]

they're a Palit subsidiary

if that at all helps

[mortal grail]

Yeah I think that's right

[worn wave]

Looks like they're also Europe focused which would explain why US peeps (me) haven't heard of them

[sweet phoenix]

Gainward is just whatever

Like they exist

Not worth avoiding most of the time

[devout forum]

ye Palit bought up Gainward and operates a bunch of other brands

[rancid juniper]

I only know gainward, Galax, colorful because of vbios flashing

[devout forum]

it's still a 4080 with all the perks a 4080 has

and all the downsides naturally

[mortal grail]

Ngl I'm torn actually

DLSS 4 and reflex 2 is compelling

AMD has softlocked the xtx out of that for now

[dusk knot]

No thanks lol

[devout forum]

IIRC the conventional wisdom was that if the 4080 is not ~15% more expensive it's an easy buy

[worn wave]

Even ignoring frame gen, the dlss4 transformer model looks like it could be really good

[mortal grail]

Is not *$50 more

[devout forum]

it's right about that price difference

[mortal grail]

15% is wayyyyy too much

[mortal grail]

It is but not a perf increase

Perf loss rn

[devout forum]

But yes

it's RIGHT about 50 bucks price difference

[mortal grail]

They said 40% faster, not true lol

[mortal grail]

Yes so I could honestly go either way

[devout forum]

Reflex 2 is unironically amazing tho and it's coming to 40 series too

so like

[mortal grail]

I would bet amd would come up with something....but....I don't sell on promises, 4080S is compelling

[devout forum]

AMD ain't got nothing there

[worn wave]

I mean if it's good enough that you can step down the base resolution by one step and have a similar result to previous, that would be a perf increase

[devout forum]

rn

[mortal grail]

Mmm

[mortal grail]

In that sense yes

The new tech makes frame gen usable

That's a big step

[devout forum]

and iirc the 4080 can be driven by a 7700X based on what you said at 1440p

[mortal grail]

Yes

[devout forum]

so I don't have to drop X3D money

[worn wave]

But it also just improves DLSS on its own

[devout forum]

Checks out

[mortal grail]

Yes, and hopefully with a month or two becomes faster as promised

[sinful blade]

$10

[mortal grail]

Yeah it's alright

[sinful blade]

Okie dokey

[rancid juniper]

After looking at the reviews can't say there's any reason to buy it

It's one glorified ai accelerator

Anybody measured performance per watt?

[dusk knot]

Yep….

60 series will do

[proud jackal]

WHY

[dusk knot]

Controversy 💀

[mortal grail]

About +12% better

[dusk knot]

Felix

No 5080

[mortal grail]

JP

Yes 8050

[dusk knot]

I’ll wait another 2 years
